Iplehouse "mobility joints?" Opinions?

Full Marketplace

What's up with Iplehouse's proffered joint options--"general" and "mobility?" I saw the photos on Silvia's page, but all I can see there is what looks like a seam on the thigh. Can someone enlighten me?

Yeah, it's not a seam, it's a separate piece that allows them to have more mobility and pose better, hence the name "mobility joints." It's very handy. My Cocori has the mobility joint and her legs hold a pose wonderfully. She stands very well~~

Of course, I'm sure the general type is quite nice too. I'm pleased with Iplehouse.

I've seen a mobility Silvia before , but her jointed leg looked like it will pop out anytime. It's good that it gives her mobility, but the first imprerssion it gives me is like "The leg don't belong to her!"

No, it's not like the domuya thigh at all. I've seen both in person and they're very different. The Iplehouse mobility joint isn't a piece you can remove. It's just another joint that twists side to side. With it, you can twist the leg without moving the ball joint that connects the leg to the body. Sorry for the confusion (though I don't know if this explains it either).

I love Lion~ I've never had the opportunity to see one in person, which is why I don't know for sure about the boy body. I finally saw the pics of the sleeping head. It's so nice! I bet some will turn up in the marketplace.

My Cocori has mobility joints and unfortunately, they keep popping out. Is there a way to fix this? I sueded them with hot glue and they are a little better but not great. I have seen them on other Iplehouse dolls and they were fine; I can't figure out why they don't work on this doll. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Thanks so much for your help; I'll try that. I read on another thread that someone glued the mobility joint because it was driving them crazy. I love the idea of it and really don't want to give up yet. The first Cocori I saw (last year) had one and it worked perfectly.
